We’ve all heard the phrase “There was a twinkle in their eyes.”
I guess that phrase could be metaphorical. But, as photographers, we are interested in the possible physical reasons.
Those twinkles have a photography term. Do you know what it is?
They are called catchlights! And they are one of your best friends as you learn how to use lighting in your photography.
Why? They reveal some information about how an existing photograph was lit. This information can then be transferred to your own work.
